Strengths
- “Leaders and staff work together to create an environment where pupils feel welcomed and included.”
- “This work is improving, and this is having a positive impact on attendance.”
- “There is a large pastoral team, and pupils are clear about who they can speak to if they have concerns or face challenges.”
To improve
- “However, leaders do not have a clear vision for pupils’ wider personal development.”
- “This means there is a lack of clarity about what pupils are working towards.”
- “Leaders know there is more work to do to achieve their ambitious aims.”
